Do you remember the older version of FR, where style bombs (unclosed tags or misused style elements) could cause havoc?

Indeed I do. Too bad that JR has totally disabled style properties, though. Some of them allowed a level of precision in text formatting that wasn't available via any other means. It was pretty cool being able to use pitures as table backgrounds and use styles to precisely place labeling text. My personal favorite was a picture of all sorts of bags that had big "GUN" labels on the side; using nothing but HTML, I changed all the labels to say "STEAL ME".
